Title: Am I Special?
Post by: Carl WA1KPD on November 23, 2015, 10:11:25 AM
Ok- gave you all a great set up line, now hit it out of the park.

Seriously, at the top of the page I see "Warning: Creating default object from empty value in /homepages/11/d132647312/htdocs/Amfone/mkportal/include/SMF/smf_out.php on line 47"

Is that leftover from the site meltdown as it seemed to show up about that time, or am I doing something wrong?

Inquiring minds want to know.
Thanks and 73

it's been a bug in the server/software for several months. It was worse than this a few months ago where the site crashed for days at a time.
It's running and posts are made and pictures uploading ok. PM's working.
May be new thinking that if it works don't tweek and crash

Maybe a tube in the server is going soft?
Uses a bunch of 12AX7's does it not?

Has it been recapped? The wax ones can't be trusted anymore
Maybe some of the resistors have drifted.
Just thinking....

When Mister Rogers looked right into the camera and told you that you are special, he really meant it.

And a "speedy delivery" to ya!

You are special, just like everyone else.  ;-)

No, wait!

You're above average!

Some of us just hear whispers in the night.
But you! You get special headliner treatment with UNIX treats.
   ;D

Missed my chance.  Should've said that everyone's just playing along but we really don't see any such headliner.  Steve fixed it up half a year ago after the last serious burp.

"Special" just doesn't do you justice, Carl. ;)

The fabled 'meltdown' really wasn't - merely a case of overdue updates which were implemented as time allowed. Steve does the heavy lifting for the site (including software upgrades) and was busy with his real life job. A simple case of priorities. Much more boring than the meltdown story, I know.

The error message at the top relates to mkportal, utility software that is no longer supported or functioning (hence the message). No bug or new thinking involved. Eventually we will find something to replace it, but since it's not critical to the functioning of the site overall, it's waiting its turn behind life's more important items.

In the meantime - the rest of the site is working fine. You are indeed all special, but we're fresh out of trophies. Enjoy, and have a Happy Thanksgiving.  ;D

Scrumptious spread there Huzman, ham AND turkey.
Yes we all have much to be thankful for and count our blessings.
I wish Fred "The Mopster" all the best too.

I'll have all four grandchildren and all my children in house today.  ..an extremely rare event, due to time, distance and schedules.  My wife met the latest one month old granddaughter for the first time yesterday. She was so very thrilled.

Don't eat too much guys and hey! " Hain't we got purfec
 wx hr in the East?"
